Abstract
Professionalism and medical ethics, while similar, are often viewed in different contexts. An historical and social science analysis reveals that professionalism is a complex skill that can be developed over time. The key components of professionalism, as defined by the American Physical Therapy Association, include accountability, altruism, compassion, excellence, integrity, professional duty, and social responsibility. Throughout history, physicians have been concerned with medical ethics and professionalism. In the Golden Age of Islam, principles such as excellence, honour, integrity, accountability, and duty were important in shaping the professional behavior of physicians. Adab al-Tabib, an ancient work, by Ishāq bin Ali al-Ruhawi focuses on ethical guidelines and teachings related to medical ethics in the Islamic civilization. Many of the ethical issues in this book are of foremost importance as components of professionalism. However while the examples of medical ethics guidelines that pre-existed Adab al-Tabib such as the Hippocratic Oath, are not mentioned. As one of the first statutes of medical ethics in Islamic civilization, Ruhawi is a model for many doctors in the Golden Age of Islam, and over the years his principles have greatly influenced the professional view of physicians.
伊沙克-本-阿里-鲁哈维(Ishāq bin Ali al-Ruhawi),公元 9 世纪医学专业的先驱。
专业精神和医德虽然相似,但往往被放在不同的背景下看待。历史和社会科学分析表明,职业精神是一种复杂的技能,可以随着时间的推移不断发展。根据美国物理治疗协会的定义,职业精神的关键要素包括责任感、利他主义、同情心、卓越、诚信、职业义务和社会责任。纵观历史,医生一直关注医德和职业精神。在伊斯兰教的黄金时代,卓越、荣誉、诚信、责任和义务等原则对塑造医生的职业行为非常重要。伊沙克-本-阿里-鲁哈维(Ishāq bin Ali al-Ruhawi)撰写的古代著作《Adab al-Tabib》重点介绍了伊斯兰文明中与医德相关的伦理准则和教义。该书中的许多伦理问题作为职业精神的组成部分,具有极其重要的意义。然而,《Adab al-Tabib》之前的医德准则,如《希波克拉底誓言》,却未被提及。作为伊斯兰文明中最早的医德法规之一,鲁哈维是伊斯兰黄金时代许多医生的楷模,多年来,他的原则极大地影响了医生的职业观。
